Our Foodbanker Stories is an original series produced by The Food Bank Singapore. 

Episode #1
Once a Foodbanker, always a Foodbanker

Fresh out of school, Shermain shares the many firsts she experienced at a new Food Bank, from inventory packing to spearheading the first few programmes like Project X-Pired and Juniors Club. Shermain’s time at FBSG has directed her path in life today to becoming a warrior of change.

We are humbled by how she continues the spirit of a Foodbanker till today!

Episode #2
Foodbankers turned realtor, nurse…and a cat?!

From Foodbankers to a realtor and a nurse, Margarita and Jo-An share the stories of how they set up the very first version of FBSG’s Food Pantry and….even the first FBSG Kittens!

Watch on and hear how their experience at FBSG continues to add value in their lives even today.

Episode #3
4 Superpowers of a Foodbanker

From sieving out half-eaten sandwiches from our bank boxes to campaigning for Singapore’s car clubs to join the ‘Drive Hunger Away’ food drive, to carrying a trunkful of eggs in their car, these two ladies have done it all during their time in FBSG!

Watch the full episode to hear the 4 superpowers a Foodbanker must have and how it has changed their lives.

Episode #4
What is it really like to be a Foodbanker?

From managing over 300 feeding partners to ensuring smooth operations across programmes and teams, things can get pretty intense when you’re a Foodbanker. But our Foodbankers always have a way to solve problems, decompress and doing it all over again. 😎

McDonald runs, playground time and getting creative with “fundraising”, watch on as Syaz and Vidya show us snippets on what life is really like for a Foodbanker because there’s never a dull day at FBSG in work and play.
